Man Shoots Friend in Leg Upon Friend’s Request

Time to play cowboys and idiots.

Would you do anything for a good friend? Definitely. Would you take a bullet for him? Without a doubt. But would you take a bullet, put it in a gun, and shoot it at him?

That’s exactly what happened this weekend in northern New York when 25-year-old Shawn Mossow obliged to his friend’s unusual request. The 24-year-old victim of the incident repeatedly asked Mossow to shoot him in the leg because he was curious what it would feel like to be shot.

So, like any good friend would do, Mossow grabbed his .22 caliber rifle and shot his dear old friend in the leg. The good news is that Mossow’s friend is expected to make a full recovery, so he’ll be back to making idiotic requests in no time. As for Mossow himself, he was charged with reckless endangerment and is being held on $10,000 bail.

If only Shawn Mossow had a less-than-intelligent friend who would be willing to lend him that money.
